Do the following summarize a categorical variable or a numerical variable? Explain.
(1) For a football player, the average number of yards per carry in one game
(2) For a basketball player, the shooting percentage during one game
(3) For a baseball player, his batting average during the playoffs
(4) For a hockey player, the time on ice per game
The table shows the total cost c of buying t movie tickets. Write an equation to represent the relationship between c and t.
If a is an idempotent in a commutative ring, show that
If a ring has the characteristic that, then prove that it is commutative ab = ca implies b = c when .
Researchers carried out a survey of fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade students in Michigan. Students were asked whether good grades, athletic ability, or being popular was most important to them. This two-way table summarizes the survey data.
Suppose we select one of these students at random. What's the probability that: The student is a sixth grader or a student who rated good grades as important?
Laplace transforms A powerful tool in solving problems in engineering and physics is the Laplace transform. Given a function f(t), the Laplace transform is a new function F(s) defined by
where we assume s is a positive real number. For example, to find the Laplace transform of
Verify the following Laplace transforms, where u is a real number.
